Cabinet Office hope to have it rolled out for local elections next year
A new voting count system was introduced at the Port St Mary Commissioner's by-election this week.
It's called a 'kangaroo' - the papers are layered in between a piece of clear plastic, votes are counted in a row and tallied at the end of the board.
Frank Carolan, Head of Crown and Elections at the Cabinet Office hopes the new approach will be rolled out at more elections:
Clerk Hayley Kinvig said the process was 'smooth':
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
FOI revealed the Island spent more than £170,000 on influencers
RNLI volunteers call for 'honest reflection' over 'decade of decline'
'Voice of the crew' highlighted in five-page statement
Over £170,000 spent on Visit influences
Visit currently has two active influencer agreements
